Introduction: Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, and the effects of a changing climate can be seen in the weather patterns all around us. From heat waves to hurricanes, droughts to floods, it's clear that the weather is becoming more extreme and unpredictable. It's a well-established scientific fact that the Earth's climate is warming and that human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, are the main cause of this warming. In this blog post, we will delve into the science behind these changes and discuss the impact on weather patterns. We will also talk about the steps that individuals, communities and governments can take to adapt to a new normal.

Why is the Arctic warming so much faster? New
The Arctic is warming at a faster rate than the rest of the planet due to a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. This occurs because as the polar regions warm, ice and snow melt, exposing darker land and water surfaces that absorb more solar radiation, causing even more warming. Additionally, the loss of sea ice in the Arctic can also cause more warming by altering ocean currents and weather patterns. Greenhouse gases are the main driver of this warming, with the majority of the warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions from human activities.

World Without US
Sages meditated for Ages; the wise-men wrote millions of pages; kings and statesmen gave brilliant speeches—about joy and happiness, that has eluded the mankind in the known history. What a profound mystery! The pages of human history, daubed in bloodshed, very recently that of World War I & II and Nanking (China) ask the crying question. How to make this Planet Earth, heaven-like? The answer is simple and direct. Eyes full of understanding, the heart full of love and the life that refuses conflicts—enough. These alone are enough. Well, if peace is not possible for humanity, what is the alternative? Alan Weisman seems to have the answer.
